Product Details

Overview & Technology: Durable Nylon Rim Tape for 700C Wheels

Zipp Rim Tape (Manufacturer Part #: 00.1915.108.010, Product No. 020061) is a purpose-built, nylon rim strip supplied as a pair for 700C road wheels. Designed to cover spoke holes and protect inner tubes, this tape is offered in two internal-width variants — 18mm and 20mm — to match common rim bed widths on performance road wheels. The tape carries SRAM Model ID WH-SPP-A0 for straightforward cross-reference with wheel specs. The tape is constructed from abrasion-resistant nylon with a resilient surface finish that resists wear from tube friction and debris. Its low-profile construction keeps weight down while providing a consistent interface between tube and rim bed for reliable day-to-day durability on training rides, club runs, and race days.

Key Features & Real-World Benefits

Simple protection, big benefits: the primary role of rim tape is to isolate the inner tube from spoke holes, sharp edges, and rim-bed machining marks. Zipp's nylon construction delivers a tear-resistant layer that reduces punctures caused by exposed spoke nipples and maintains a smooth surface that helps prevent pinch flats and abrasion over time. Practical advantages: quick to fit and available in two widths to match rim internal dimensions, this tape is ideal for routine maintenance and wheel rebuilds. The slim profile preserves internal rim volume and tire fit while adding a dependable barrier that extends tube life and reduces roadside repairs.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation Notes

Fit: Available in 18mm and 20mm internal widths for 700C diameter rims. Check your rim's internal width before ordering — use 18mm for narrower road rims and 20mm for slightly wider rims or rims with shallow bead seats. The Zipp part is cross-referenced with SRAM Model ID WH-SPP-A0 for compatibility verification with certain wheel models. Installation tips: clean the rim bed thoroughly, remove any old adhesive or sealant, and center the tape over the spoke holes. Apply with even pressure and avoid large overlaps; trim excess with a sharp blade. While suitable for use with inner tubes and standard clincher setups, this nylon tape can be used as a basic protective layer under tubeless preparations in some cases — but it is not a replacement for purpose-made tubeless rim tape and sealant when converting a rim to tubeless.

Who This Rim Tape Is For

Road riders and mechanics: cyclists who maintain their own wheels, race teams, and shop mechanics will appreciate a reliable, low-weight rim tape that makes routine tire and tube changes cleaner and safer. It’s a practical item for riders who use tubes or run mixed setups and want consistent protection against spoke-hole damage. When to choose this tape: choose Zipp nylon rim tape if you want brand-matched fitment for Zipp/SRAM wheels, need a durable fabric tape that resists abrasion, or require a simple replacement strip for 700C rims in either 18mm or 20mm widths. Sold by the pair, it’s handy to replace tape on both wheels during a service interval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this rim tape work for tubeless conversions?

Zipp nylon rim tape provides basic protection and can be used as an additional layer in some tubeless builds, but it is not a substitute for dedicated tubeless rim tape and proper bead sealing. For reliable tubeless performance use tape specifically rated for tubeless conversion and follow manufacturer guidelines.

How do I choose between 18mm and 20mm widths?

Measure your rim's internal width (the distance between the inner rim walls) and choose the tape equal to or slightly narrower than that measurement. Use 18mm for narrow road rims and 20mm for wider or semi-wide rims. When in doubt, check your wheel or rim specifications.

Is adhesive already applied to the tape?

Most Zipp nylon rim tapes include a pressure-sensitive backing for secure placement, but always confirm adhesion after installing and before inflating to high pressures. Proper cleaning of the rim bed prior to installation improves bond and reduces the chance of shifting.

How often should I replace rim tape?

Replace rim tape whenever you replace inner tubes, if the tape shows cuts, looseness, or contamination from old sealant, or during a wheel overhaul. Many riders change tape every 1–3 years depending on mileage and conditions.

Does this tape fit non-Zipp wheels?

Yes — as long as the rim diameter is 700C and the internal width matches the tape (18mm or 20mm), this tape will function on most compatible rims. Verify internal rim width before buying to ensure correct coverage.

What is included in the box?

Each purchase contains a pair of Zipp rim tapes sized for 700C wheels. Shipping dimensions are compact (approx. 5" x 7" x 4") and weight around 0.5 lb — enough tape for both wheels.

Buying Guide

Choose rim tape by matching the tape width to your rim's internal dimension and confirming 700C diameter compatibility. Nylon tapes like Zipp's offer a durable, abrasion-resistant barrier that protects tubes from spoke holes and rough rim beds — ideal for road riders doing routine maintenance. For tubeless conversions or wide-profile rims, consider dedicated tubeless tape rated for airtight sealing and wider coverage. Keep a pair of spare tapes in your workshop kit and replace tape whenever you perform a tire change or notice wear.
